    Agree on each suggestions. I’m especially excited about building #2, which I think is a fairly subtle, hard problem to solve.

    Appreciate the feedback on pricing! Will keep this mind as I imagine we'll offer a wider range of options in the future.

    Yes! We do support basic image blocks today, but the idea is that we’ll integrate generative media types as new image/video/audio models become more reliable & stable.

    Unfortunately, everything but the AI works offline. Though, maybe that's a feature if you're planning a more mellow retreat :)

    That's fair! At a minimum, we probably should start saying "Type.ai" more often than just "Type."

    We knew we wanted it and we figured there are more people like us out there.

    Agreed! We’ve begun exploring some ways to do that.

    Yep, we’ve acquired hundreds of paying customers since launching about a month ago. And we don’t see the market here as “people who hire writers” — we see it as “people who must wr…

    No worries! I really appreciate you giving it a closer look, and I’m glad our general philosophy seems to resonate. Please shoot me an email if you ever try it and have any feedbac…

    We feel similarly. There are a lot of products in this space. Very few are enjoyable to use, though.

    We think about that a lot! I think this reply from my co-founder summarizes our answer well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35442714

    The honest answer is that it'll be hard for us to answer that until we try out what they've built!

    We thought it was pretty descriptive and at least as imaginative as "Word" or "Docs." But we're open to suggestions!

    Because we're still figuring it out and it takes a while to build new stuff (not a great answer, I know - but it's the honest one)

    Thanks! Claude seems to be especially strong with creative writing and writing in a wider breadth of styles, which ends up being really important.

    It should support pretty much any language! The commands will attempt to generate text in whatever language is already in the document (though, it's certainly not perfect yet and w…

    Stefan pretty much captured my perspective! I might just add a couple of related things: We have a subtle but important difference in focus compared to a product like Notion. We're…

    To each their own :). I do think it's a big space and plenty of folks will find ChatGPT helpful enough to not warrant a more vertical / specific solution like ours.

    Glad you've been enjoying it. I'm continually surprised by how much more I feel I can do working with ChatGPT/AI in a doc editor interface versus exclusively chat (though each have…
